The CSFA Historical Society

The CSFA Historical Society is dedicated to fire prevention education, the preservation of the history of the California State Firefighters' Association, and the promotion of goodwill for the entire fire service. The presentation of the CSFA Steamer at events throughout California (from local celebrations to internationally recognized events like the Tournament of Roses Parade) will call attention to our illustrious past, our present service, and our dedication to California's Fire Safe future.

CSFA Scholarship Program -- children and grandchildren of CSFA members are eligible to apply.

CSFA scholarships, formerly awarded by the Ladies Auxiliary of the CSFA, are back! The new CSFA Scholarships, for children and grandchildren of CSFA members, will now be administered by the CSFA Historical Society, (a separate 501c3 that is affiliated with CSFA) through the CSFA Historical Society Scholarship Fund. Donations to the CSFA Scholarship Fund are welcome and are tax-deductible. The first scholarships were awarded in the fall of 2012.
